Gangster lean?

[Loki]

Funny as it sounds, my adolescent male veiled cham has started leaning off the side of his branch in the middle of his cage. He isn't favoring a particular side, and he is totally healthy. Ive tried researching it online and I didn't find anything other people have posted about their chams doing this. Just wanted to check and see if any of yours have, or if it could be a sign of any kind of illness. Thanks!

nope he's fine, just making the most of his body to absorb light and heat.
totally normal, they pretty much all do it!

just to ease your mind, you might want to recheck your uv #'s and heat temps, incl basking temps. I am seeing posts that others are changing due to the weather changes.
He might not be getting the same reads as when it was warmer outside.
This is why having temp guns and uv meters are handy
